Nurse's Report

Everything looked good yesterday with our visiting nurse. Lindsay weighed in at 7 lbs 11 ounces! That is almost a pound since we have been home! She is taking the bottle well and packing it on apparently. :-) We thank God everyday that she is doing so well. I think he hears a few hundred of you out there as well!We have an appointment on Tuesday with the cardiologist and Lindsay will have an echocardiogram and EKG done to check things out. We are crossing our fingers that we don't come across any problems or concerns.Today was a great day at home with the family and then this afternoon we went to see Patti for our photo session. I just can't wait to see what wonderful photos that Patti was able to capture. She said some will be posted on her blog this evening sometime. So check her blog out to get a sneak peak.We have had a few people ask when her next surgery will be. Well, the answer to that is that we don't know either. It will depend really on when Lindsay shows signs that she is ready. The second is typically performed between 4 and 6 months of age so we are thinking this might take place late fall. Just too early to say right now.

The photo above is Lindsay from last Saturday and yes, Daddy got inked once again with baby #3! The boys' names are on his back and Lindsay is on his shoulder. I think this one turned out great and just wait to see what photos Patti got showing it off!

Thanks again for the prayers and I will have another update very soon!Have a great weekend!Love, Suzie

Well I finally got on to see the pictures, have been so busy and more flood issues. She looks so great and she did when I saw here on Thursday. I will be in touch soon and come over for a little longer visit. Our thoughts are always with all of you and keep praying for continued good progress for Lindsay. Great job Mom and Dad, oh yeah and those boys are so cute.

It is so great to see how fantastic Lindsay looks!! I am impressed she is taking down the bottle and gaining weight. Most hlhs babies don't do that well!! Love the pictures taken of Lindsay and your boys!

Oh my, I just looked at Patti's blog and those pics are so great! No surprise to me, but I had to say it. The one of the three kids is FANTASTIC!Got to see your boys at the picnic, it was hot, but they were having fun!See ya soon

As I check on Baby Lindsay day to day...it's amazing at the progress she's made! I will continue to pray for all of you each day....she is a true blessing and a miracle! Keep your faith and hang in there...God works in mysterious ways...she is absolutely precious and the boys can't wait to meet her!

Heart Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
